Chang Hang Hui Hai / Signet Defender / Signet Magic, Brownsville, TX, USA (NTSB DCA24FM016)Report published Jan 7, 2025
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the breakaway of the dry bulk carrier Chang Hang Hui Hai from a dock and subsequent collision with the tugboat Signet Defender was the force of the wind acting on the exposed freeboard of the Chang Hang Hui Hai, which overcame the breaking strength of several mooring lines.
The report names a ship "Chang Hang Hui Hai" but prints no IMO number; the name matches this vessel only. It may be a different ship.
